Shock absorbers

Heavy-duty industrial shock absorbers feature a self-compensating design to provide smooth deceleration under changing conditions. The 2- and 3-inch bore models are targeted for use where velocities or loads may vary within the same application or across a range of equipment. Product catalog provides technical information including deceleration principles, product construction and function, time and force advantages, and self-compensation. A shock-absorber selection is also included.

A few weeks ago, Ford Motor Co. quietly announced that it was rolling out a new wrinkle to the powerful safety feature called stability control, adding even more lifesaving potential to a technology that has already been very successful.

It won't be too much longer and hardware design, as we used to know it, will be remembered alongside the slide rule and the Karnaugh map. You will need to move beyond those familiar bits and bytes into the new world of software centric design.

People who want to take advantage of solar energy in their homes no longer need to install a bolt-on solar-panel system atop their houses -- they can integrate solar-energy-harvesting shingles directing into an existing or new roof instead.
